This is nothing but Trumpian pandering.

[–] SamuelRJankis@sh.itjust.works 1 points 16 seconds ago

Out of the pandering they do this is probably the most dangerous one.

Christians aren't inherently bad, but Christian who thinks the Bible says Trump is a good person is a real problem.

Christian nationalism is making a real strong comeback and somewhat overtly so culture wise like clothing and media.

How? Cause bumble fuck morons in rural areas have the reading level of a 2nd grader and can't figure out when they are being lied to.

Edit: to be clear, im not saying all rural folks are dumb. Im saying the ones who happen to be dumb got us into this mess

[–] Rocketpoweredgorilla@lemmy.ca 14 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

I know city raised folk that are just as dumb. It's all about being brainwashed to believe bullshit from the time they're hatched. By the time they can make decisions on their own they all think they're part of some magic christian hogwarts world.

[–] wirebeads@lemmy.ca 13 points 7 hours ago

That’s the end goal of religion.

Religion is poison and poisons everything it touches.

[–] krooklochurm@lemmy.ca 5 points 6 hours ago

I've lived in rural Canada and the majority of the people I knew were as dumb as a bag of hammers.

[–] krooklochurm@lemmy.ca 27 points 6 hours ago

What a fucking idiot.

[–] Melvin_Ferd@lemmy.world 21 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Ok so journalists will Press him on this. Right? They'll press him right?

[–] npcknapsack@lemmy.ca 18 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Are they allowed to talk to him? He's probably too busy chewing his apples.

[–] SamuelRJankis@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 hours ago

His selectiveless in speaking to the media has seemingly made journalists go easy on him in interviews from what I've seen.

Not sure if they're screening the questions or the people know they're not getting another interview unless they feed him some softballs.

[–] Reannlegge@lemmy.ca 16 points 8 hours ago

Yeah every Easter I see so much terror being done to them. During December the country doesn’t go into Christmas stuff.

Just remember there is no more hate than Christian love.

[–] BroBot9000@lemmy.world 14 points 8 hours ago

Oh no won’t somebody think of the uneducated brainwashed cult members.

Fuck your agenda of pushing your cult into politics. That shit belongs in the privacy of your own home and nowhere else.

Persecution fetish

[–] SereneSadie@lemmy.myserv.one 10 points 7 hours ago

Perpetrators*.

[–] puppinstuff@lemmy.ca 10 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

It checks out when you recognize that he panders to people who believe being slightly inconvenienced or inclusive of others is to have violence done against them.

I don’t even think he believes this himself. He just knows the people who he wants to vote for him instead of Bernier believe it.

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 9 points 3 hours ago

Can we put to bed the idea he'd have been harder on Trump when he's literally reciting their talking points.

Somehow with even less charisma

This is exactly what I was taught in church. We read about martyrs all the time, some real graphic stuff, all to reinforce to a bunch of teenagers that the world hates us and its our job to save the world. Honestly, its effective. It brainwashed us into being fucking badgers when it came to assaulting random strangers on the street with tracts and an impromptu recitation of the Roman Road.

Now, though, I am terrified of approaching people on the street. I love street photography, but I was so mentally beaten by strangers who wanted nothing to do with me that I can't bring myself to hold my camera in the vague direction of a person I don't know.

Didn't you know? There's a War on Christmas!

[–] AGM@lemmy.ca 7 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

I listened to him saying that and the first thing I thought was it's an intentional dog whistle to all the Christian nationalists, white nationalists, and residential school deniers who hold onto the churches burned in the summer of the Kamloops residential school news as a point of grievance.

Talking about churches being attacked across Canada one day before NDTR just screams that he wants to play upon those grievances and feed into those narratives which are also closely tied to great replacement narratives and the superiority of white Christian civilization that Charlie Kirk and his movement were also all about.

It's really gross, disturbing, and dangerous. Not only is he spouting utter lies, but he's willingly feeding the flame of far-right white Christian nationalism.

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 2 hours ago

Yeah, clearly he's still being pulled around by his right flank. So far that hasn't worked out so well in the actual elections.

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 hour ago

Two of my grandparents and both my parents are survivors of residential schools run by Catholics .... and I saw the last of Catholic run day schools when I was a kid ...

From my own and my family's experience .... CHRISTIANS are historically the perpetrators of hate-based violence in Canada.

Anyone who thinks they are gods children are mistaking them for a bunch of brain washed idiots.

Poilievre can get fucked.

[–] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 5 points 8 hours ago

Balderdash!

[–] MushuChupacabra@lemmy.world 5 points 8 hours ago

What a weenie.

[–] troyunrau@lemmy.ca 4 points 5 hours ago

Must be a leadership review coming up. Pandering to base.

[–] scutiger@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

They may be.

Probably not, but maybe.

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 2 hours ago

The article itself mentions that Jews and Muslims are still both ahead.

Always the victim

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 3 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Gaza is completely crushed to ruble, but Christians are recovery the biggest victims in the world.

This guy needs to fuck off, seriously. I hope he gets reincarnated as every one the people he's saying have it worse off than objectively the wealthiest and most powerful religions in the world.

[–] AGM@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 hours ago

And, pretty sure he'll never mention the persecution of Christians in Jerusalem by Israel...

[–] HazardousBanjo@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago

It concerns me how many Canadians I see on the normie web mock Americans for Trump when you got this MCGA threat looming.

Much of what's happening to America now is because too many people thought "that could never happen here". Don't repeat our mistakes, Canada.

[–] Tigeroovy@lemmy.ca 2 points 29 minutes ago

Well, having been raised in a pseudo Christian home I did grow to really hate the religion. But somehow I don’t think that’s what he means.

[–] Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca 2 points 4 hours ago

I thought it was white people? /s

[–] betanumerus@lemmy.ca 1 points 7 hours ago

More likely: maybe not. Probably not. And not at all.

[–] wampus@lemmy.ca 1 points 41 minutes ago

Jeez. You'd think the conservatives/PP would take a hint from the response most Canadians have had to Trump and American politics lately. Instead the idiots out there using an American-based tragedy to parrot American-Right wing talking points, and pretending like it's applicable in Canada, and that Canadians should react like Americans.

The liberals should just go full right-wing centrist. Let the NDP be the left-wing centrists. Have elections be between those two parties, instead of the conservatives.... if only Alberta wasn't so fucking stupid, with their idiot premier and book bans and so on. I'm amazed they haven't kicked her ass out of office yet. But even if they want to be morons, itd be neat to see the rest of the country completely disregard/ignore the cons given the crap they've been spewing the last few years.

Hell, its practically anecdotal evidence of interference by foreign powers. The cons have morphed into the republicans of the north. I doubt that was purely coincidence, it was likely largely funded by American interests. Sorta like how Danielle is an x-oil industry lobbyist, and most of the oil industry in Canada are US based companies.
